Becoming Bulletproof (Paperback)

Life Lessons from a Secret Service Agent

Evy Poumpouras

Former Secret Service Special Agent Evy Poumpouras shares the insights and skills from one of the oldest elite security forces in the world – to help you prepare for stressful situations, instantly read people, influence how you’re perceived, and live a more fearless life.

From gruelling training to clandestine interrogation rooms, to protecting the President of the United States of America, Evy shares rare behind-the-scenes glimpses while also exploring the psychology of human behaviour and the strategies used by the best negotiators. Evy demonstrates how we can learn from these experiences to heighten our own natural instincts to detect BS, develop grit and become the most resilient and powerful version of ourselves.

Becoming Bulletproof is a timely guide to empowerment, mental strength, and overcoming fear and abuse – a guide to becoming bulletproof.
